188 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
from Mr. C. Terry, Tatton Park Gardens, Knutsford; a fine Oncidium 
lamelligerum from A. Warburton, Esq., of Haslingden; Cattleya Mossiz 
and a pretty Odontoglossum crispum from Mr. H. W. Ward, Longford 
Castle Gardens, Salisbury ; and Cattleya Loddigesii from E. J. Wilckenden, 
Esq., of New Southgate. 
Messrs. J. Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, exhibited a large and handsome 
group, including many fine hybrids, to which a Silver Flora Medal was 
given. An interesting form of Epidendrum x O’Brienianum was shown, 
which had been obtained from uncrossed seed, and, while retaining the 
characteristic shape, had almost reverted in colour to E. evectum, one of 
the original parents. An Award of Merit was given. Dendrobium taurinum 
also received a Botanical Certificate. 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Clapton, showed a very handsome hybrid in 
Cypripedium X Gertrude Hamilton, raised by Mr. Ayling, gr. to A. J. 
Hollington, Esq., from C. ciliolare @ and C. bellatulum 3g, and thus the 
reverse cross of C. X Olenus, of which it may be considered an exceptionally 
fine variety. It deservedly received a First-class Certificate. Dendrobium 
strongylanthum also received a Botanical Certificate. 
THE TEMPLE SHOW. 
The Eighth Great Annual Show in the Inner Temple Gardens, Thames 
Embankment, was held on May 2ist, 22nd, and 23rd, and, being favoured 
with fine weather, was a great success. There was a most extensive and 
magnificent display of Orchids, though in the matter of novelty we think 
there was an appreciable falling off as compared with the two preceding 
years ; nor do we think the number of specimen plants was quite up to the 
average, though a few good ones were observed. A few of the popular 
species which flower at this season were present in force in most of the 
groups, such as Lelia purpurata, Cattleyas Mendelii and Mossiz, Miltonia 
vexillaria, and Odontoglossum crispum, while Cymbidium Lowianum, 
Oncidium Marshallianum, and a few others were also well represented. 
We are unable to give anything like a full report of so extensive a show, 
and must confine ourselves to giving a few of the salient features of the 
different exhibits. The Judges for Orchids were Messrs. C. J. Lucas, Jas. 
Douglas, and H. A. Burberry. 
Baron Sir H. Schréder, as usual, staged a large and select group of 
well-grown plants, which were tastefully arranged with maidenhair ferns. 
A Silver Cup was awarded. Among the rarer and more remarkable things 
staged we observed the large and_ beautiful Odontoglossum_ crispum 
apiatum ; the richly coloured O. c. Sanderianum, with rosy-crimson ground 
and white margin; O. X Wilckeanum gigante 
um, with 13 very large richly- 
coloured flowers on the spike; O, x Ruckerianum, with a panicle of nine
